After taking a look at that pic someone posted on the last page with the classic/modern/boom designs I just realized how much better Boom's designs are compared to Modern's. I mean, don't get me wrong, they still suck mad ducks, but holy shit the modern characters look generic and uninteresting. Classic designs had personality to them, you could tell Tails was a small and innocent-looking child or that Sonic was a cocky motherfucker but in the modern series he just looks like the generic ever-smiling hero, Tails is the not-so-cool-looking sidekick, Amy is just "hey, I'm pink and I wear a dress 'cus I'm a girl".
These new designs are still pretty bad, but at least you can see what they are trying to do with them (except for Amy that seems to look sluty whenever... unless that's what they were going for and if so, kudos for them).
The gameplay video looks pretty meh at the running portion of it, but I did liked the combat however. I'm a sucker for 3d action/adventure games and I take that over the boost-to-win gameplay anyday. So... yeah, I might take a look on this game when it comes out... on youtube, because Wii Us are for girls. Even though I'm still not convinced, I can appreciate what BRB is trying to do. Sonic always sucked in 3D, yeah, yeah, Adventure was sort of cool and Generations was a pretty awesome game, but I prefer Sonic 1~2~3~CD over them anytime and not because nostalgia goggles or because those are better games than the later ones, but because the gameplay we grew up with simply doesn't work in 3D. So I can respect BRB for trying something completly new, maybe it works, fuck... who knows?
Either way, I'm still hyped about the cartoon. I like the silly humor Sonic games have got recently, even though sometimes it's out-of-place or a bit too much, it is much better than the "trying too hard to be serious about oversized colorful animals with superpowers" that we had going on for the last decade or so and the preview we got sincerely made me laugh and it sounds like it will be a cool series.
Welp, don't mind me giving opinions like anybody should give a fuck. Just wanted to share my feelings about this new installment in the franchise.
